Chapter 71 Threatening Might Not Work

Dugu Ziteng said word by word, "Please help me. My life is yours now. I swear I will listen to your command and do as you say."

Dugu Muyou's pupils dilated. Dugu Ziteng knelt right by her feet. He lowered his head and rested his fists by his body, breathing heavily due to serious injuries.

Dugu Muyou was a traveler from another world. In the world she was familiar with, to kneel was something humiliating. She had never done it and couldn't tolerate it. So, she stepped a few steps away.

"You may stand up. I don't like this."

"So, is that a yes?"

"Whether I agree or not has nothing to do with what you do. Now, stand up."

Dugu Ziteng raised his head hesitantly and looked at Dugu Muyou. After thinking for a while, he slowly stood up from the ground. Apparently, this movement made his wound hurt immensely that perspiration could be seen on his face.

"What would you do if I cured you?"

"What would I do? I have no idea. Maybe all I want is to live a normal life. At least not like this."

There was a moment of uncertainty in Dugu Ziteng's eyes and then he shook his head. No cultivator would like to be a waste like this or to be despised by others.

"Especially in front of Dugu Yaoyao?"

There was ridicule in Dugu Muyou's voice. She had long recognized the affair between them. The Dugus had countless branches and they were not closely related in blood. So, in this world, under these circumstances, they were allowed to be married.

Dugu Ziteng did not answer. He lowered his head, seeming indifferent to this name.

"You may sit." Dugu Muyou patted the couch, "Let me have a look at your wound."

The two of them sat face to face. Blood Fox, who was wandering nearby, jumped on her laps, gazed at Dugu Ziteng aggressively, and then rested comfortably.

The golden and silver points of light appeared once again in this room. Dugu Muyou merged them into Dugu Ziteng's body and examined his situation.

Dugu Ziteng felt surrounded by something warm. The pain he felt these days has magically disappeared. He's even indulged in this feeling.

Dugu Muyou must activate her Yuehua Diamond constantly. If it was she who got hurt, Yuehua Diamond would protect her automatically but healing others was a totally different situation. Now, she must pay more attention to it.

Dugu Muyou closed her eyes. She could feel that inside Dugu Ziteng's body. There were wounds everywhere and each one of them would take a great deal of effort to heal. But she was already extremely tired after healing Blood Fox. All she could do now was to observe. To heal Dugu Ziteng completely, she should not only heal his wounds but also restore the broken meridians. These were works that require time and energy.

After checking the wounds, Dugu Muyou healed a few extremely serious ones and opened her eyes with a tired look.

"I cannot continue our treatment anymore. You go back today and remember to come to my place every day in the following weeks. "

Dugu Ziteng looked nervous, "Can... I be completely healed? "

"I can only say that there is a great chance."

Although it was not the best answer, Dugu Ziteng was pleased to hear that there was a chance to heal the broken meridians. It was a miracle. He looked at Dugu Muyou with a bit more curiosity.

Blood Fox gave a snort of contempt.

It snorted loudly and looked at Dugu Ziteng with an expression of warning.

Dugu Ziteng received the warning, retrieved his eyesight, and left the room.

"Why did you promise to help him? What about me?"

After Dugu Ziteng left, Blood Fox pulled Dugu Muyou's sleeves and dangled back and forth like on a swing.

"I have seen it. His wounds were much less severe than yours, so I healed him first. Yours were so severe that I could not heal them in a short time anyway. "

Blood Fox was still dangling. It complained, "Why were you so kind? That waste hurt you. If he dared to harm you, I would let him suffer under my fire."

"Oh? Were you trying to defend me?"

Dugu Muyou pulled Blood Fox off her sleeves and put it in front of her to observe closely.

"I did not! I was simply defending the honor of a Lady. I would be ashamed if anyone could just hurt a Lady without any consequences."

"Is that so?" Dugu Muyou laughed. It seemed that this was a stubborn fox, "It was exhausting to heal others. I need some rest."

There is a trial tomorrow and Dugu Muyou needed some rest. A sound sleep would remove all the exhaustion. So, this explained why she would heal others in the middle of a trial.

Just as she was going to rest, the door was pushed. Anyone who wanted to come in should knock first because servant girls were guarding outside her room. How could this man just walk inside?

In a flesh, the door was pushed and quickly closed by someone.

"Muyou." The man entering her room called.

"Oh, it's Daddy." Dugu Muyou stepped out of bed and walked towards Dugu Zhong, "Is there anything wrong?"

Dugu Zhong's sharp eyes fixed on her daughter. There was a smile on her face. She looked neither too enthusiastic nor too cold. It was like looking at a stranger.

"I came for tomorrow's contest."

"Oh?"

"Have you prepared well?"

"It was fine. Thanks for asking."

Dugu Zhong sat by the tea table and tried to get himself some tea. Only to find that the teapot was empty. He held the teapot for a while, pondering things.

"Did Daddy have something to say?"

Her clear voice was like a spring of the hot summer's day. Dugu Zhong cleared his mind and put down the teapot, "I have asked you who helped you open your meridians. You did not say so I will just let it go and never speak again. I have noticed your progress these days and I think your mother should watch your trial tomorrow."

"Thanks, Daddy."

Dugu Muyou's bright eyes stared at Dugu Zhong because she knew that there was something he didn't say.

"I hope you could let Piaopiao win tomorrow."

"What if I say no?"

"You two are both my daughter, however, Piaopiao has a better foundation. If she cultivates our core cultivation method, she could accomplish something in the future. It seems the same right now but the difference between a good cultivation method and a bad one will gradually show. It is a good thing to have one more powerful member in the Dugus. Isn't it?"

Dugu Zhong avoided Dugu Muyou's question and continued his speech. After his observation these days, He had found out that although his daughters were at the same level, Dugu Piaopiao could not defeat Dugu Muyou. So, this was why he came tonight.

"If you agreed, I will personally offer you the reward of a second prize. It was not really a loss."

Dugu Muyou sneered inside her heart. Dugu Zhong came to bargain but did not offer any prize. If she won, the so-called bonus would be hers all the time. Why would she lose to Dugu Piaopiao?

The memories of Dugu Muyou had integrated with her soul. She could not just let it go. Dugu Zhong did not offer her anything but was trying to take things from her.

"I can promise you."

Dugu Zhong smiled. He thought Dugu Muyou would be hard to deal with but she promised without any hesitation. Dugu Zhong stood up from the chair with excitement and said proudly, "Well done! You are after all my daughter. This is how sisters should treat each other. It is concessions that make the Dugus stronger."

"But I haven't finished my words."

Dugu Zhong was stunned, "What did you say?"

"Last time Dugu Piaopiao and Dugu Yaoyao left me in the monster forest. I have suffered greatly and almost couldn't make it back. I cannot forget this. If Daddy could deal with it properly, I will pretend to lose to Piaopiao."

"What Dugu Piaopiao and Dugu Yaoyao did was to murder their own kin. It was absolutely f*******n according to the family rules of the Dugus. If people found out what they did, they would be severely punished. Although Dugu Muyou came back safely, what they did should not be forgotten. According to the rules, all their cultivation resources should be confiscated and their current status should be deprived. They should also be sent to the closest relatives of the victim and be punished. This consequence was far worse than not getting the core cultivation method."

Dugu Zhong punched the tea table with great strength. The table was crushed and small debris of it was scattered on the floor.

"Muyou, you should better listen to me. Otherwise..."

Dugu Muyou stopped smiling and replied with a deep voice, "Were you threatening me? It was a pity that I hated people threatening me. I will win Dugu Piaopiao."

The moment Dugu Muyou stopped talking, a great oppressive force overwhelmed her. It felt like all the blood in her body had lost control and started boiling, screaming, shuddering, and fearing this force. This was an oppressive force from a person of a higher level. This was not the first time. She couldn't move but to watch Dugu Zhong come closer and closer.

"You had to do it the hard way."

Dugu Zhong came to the face of Dugu Muyou and clutched to Dugu Muyou's forehead with his right hand! Dugu Muyou couldn't do anything but watch.

By her side, Blood Fox made a threatening gesture and threw itself at Dugu Zhong but only to be slammed on the ground by a wave of sleeves.

His hand stopped an inch in front of Dugu Muyou's forehead. There was a great suction power that appeared in his hand, trying to pull out Yuehua Diamond, which rested in the middle of Dugu Muyou's eyebrows. But Yuehua Diamond did not even move.

Dugu Zhong frowned. He took back his hand and there was a surprise in his eyes. There was a huge level gap between him and Dugu Muyou. However, he could not take out Yuehua Diamond.

Dugu Muyou was unsettled at first but now she was assured that Dugu Zhong could do nothing to her Yuehua Diamond. The only worry was that he determined to take it from her. God knew when he could come up with a plan to take her Yuehua Diamond.

"Stop wasting your energy. You cannot get it no matter what."

There was cruelness in Dugu Zhong's eyes. He stared at Dugu Muyou for a while and eventually turned his face around.

"What is it?" asked Dugu Zhong.

Dugu Muyou said nothing.

It was like Dugu Zhong had sensed something. Then, there was a knock on the door and he moved his eyesight to it immediately.

"Are you there? Dugu Muyou?"

It was the sound of Dugu Qinglan.

"I am here, please come in." Dugu Muyou answered.

Dugu Qinglan opened the door and glanced at the room with an alarming expression. She instantly saw Dugu Zhong, who was standing in the middle of the room, frowning, and asked with surprise, "When did Daddy come?"

Dugu Zhong stopped frowning and replied with a hum, "I come to speak with Dugu Muyou and now we have finished our talk. I was just about to leave and you two may talk now."

Dugu Zhong waved his sleeves and stepped out of the room.

Dugu Qinglan saw him off. She turned to Dugu Muyou until she could not see Dugu Zhong and said, "I was just coming for Mommy but felt a powerful oppressive force and I came to check. So, was it from Daddy?"
